COOKING UTENSIL.

pplication filed October 29, 1908. Serial No. 459,991.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, MARY Gmc, a citizen of the 'United States, residing at Columbia, in the count of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, ave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Utensils, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved cooking utensil, the object of the invention being to provide an improved utensil comprising a iframe for supporting a series of receptacles in such position as to permit all the receptacles to be located over, and heated by a sin gle burner.

A. further object is to provide an improved construction of frame and improved receptacles to be supported in said frame, all of which are of extremely simple construction, cheap to manufacture and which will result in a great saving of fuel.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction,combinations and arrange ments of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l, is a mrspective `View illustratingy my improve'- ments. Fir. 2, is a perspective view of the supporting" frame.

My improved supporting frame as shown4 clearly in llin'. 2 comprises a base ring' 1, a center disk 2, and a wire frame 3. The frame 3 comprises an upper ring; 4, connected 'by wires 5 with the ring' 1 and disk 2, in anyap proved manner. In the drawings I have illustrated one construction wherein the ring and base 2 are formed with eyes 6 stamped therein to receive the wires 5, but, of course the connection 'may be made in other Ways. Two ol the wires 5 at opposite sides of the frame are made longer than the other pair of wires 5, and after boing bent around t 1e upper ring' 4l are bent into the form shown in the drawings, or in any other approved shape to provide handles for the ira-me as shown at 7, and are then. bent around upright portions of the rods 5, at their lower ends, to render the handle portions rigid. n wire partition trame Sis removably supported upon the upper ringP 4 Vand comprises a wire extending across the lcenter of' i the l' rame Il and a shorter wire 9 at right angles to Specification of Letters Patent.

the main wire, and connecting the center of the main wire with the ring 4. The ends of this Wire frame 8 are bent downward formingr hooks l() to clamp over the ring 4 and secure the frame S against accidental displacement.

This frame 8 it will be observed divides the main frame into three compartments, one compartment comprising one-half of the frame, and the other two compartments one quarter each. As shown in Fig. 1, a double boiler 11' is located in the largest chamber and is of semicircular form in cross section to snugly fit therein. single boiler 13 are provided to fit into the quarter sections or chambers of the frame. The coffee pot and single boiler are each made with two of their walls at'right angles to each other to lit the right angled sections of the frame 8, and these outer Walls are curved to :fit the circular ring 4. All of these cooking receptacles 1'1, I2 and 13 are sup-` ported upon the ring l andl the disk 2, and when assembled in the position shown, the frame can be placed over a single burner of the stove, and all el. the receptacles heated simultaneously. The central. disk 2 serves as a dellector for the llame to direct it unir formly to the several receptacles. It will thus be seen that over a single burner I may cook coil'ee and food both in the boiler 13 and the double boiler 11, and in fact cook an entire meal over a single burner.

By the construction of frameshown it will be observed that if, as is very probable the contents of one receptacle will cook before another, such receptacle can be removed from the frame without disturbing the e uilibrium of the others, and in fact if a i ow cooking food is in one receptacle, very often another receptacle may be used for cookingtwo or more foods while the food in the first mentioned receptacle is being` cooked.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by l letters Patent is:

In a device of the character described, the combination with a ring, a disk located centrally within the ring', said ringr and disk having eyes or openings, crossed wires projecting' through the eyes or openings in the ring and disk, extending upward at right angles to thel ring, a wire ring secured to the upper ends ol A coilee pot 12 and a one of the last mentioned Wires, and the other of said Wires bent around the Wire ring, and

bent into handles, and a Wire partition frame supported on the upper wire ring, the Whole 5 construction being a support for cooking utensils. i

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the piene of two subscmbmg Wltnesses.
